Awakening

Book Details

Heralded as one of the first instances of feminist literature and rejected at its time of publication by the literary set on grounds of moral distaste, Kate Chopin's The Awakening caused consternation in 1899. Constrained and confined by the limitations surrounding marriage and motherhood in the late 1800s, Edna Pontellier begins to challenge the notion of femininity through her thoughts and actions. Questioning her love for her husband, and opening herself up to the possibilities of other men and a life outside of societal convention leads to a gradual awakening of her desires. Chopin's fascinating exploration of one woman challenging the expectation that surrounds her is powerful, daring and ultimately tragic in its conclusions

About the author

Kate Chopin Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin

1850 (San Luis) – 1904 (San Luis) See page of Kate Chopin
Kate Chopin (San Luis, Misuri, 1850-1904) fue una escritora estadounidense que se adelantó a su tiempo al explorar la libertad, el deseo y la autonomía de las mujeres en una sociedad marcada por normas rígidas. Nacida en San Luis y formada entre mujeres, encontró en la escritura una forma de cuestionar los límites impuestos a la experiencia femenina. Su novela más conocida, "El despertar" (1899), provocó un escándalo por retratar a una mujer que rechaza el papel que la sociedad le asigna. Ignorada durante décadas, Chopin es hoy reconocida como una autora fundamental para entender los orígenes de la conciencia feminista moderna.
